Abstract: Abstract Your desktop computer can tell a laser to harden selected portions of a tank of photosensitive chemicals. This “3-dimensional printing” produces rapid prototypes of parts for manufacture. Your next automobile will have voice-operated web browsing. You will be able to ask directions, book flights, reserve rooms, and get traffic reports by talking to your car. And your car will talk back. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) makes gene mapping, including gene therapies and criminal DNA identification, easier and commercially feasible.
